A strange meeting began. Chief Maiqi brought in ten strong guards. After these people came in, they stood at all the entrances and exits, except for the window behind Li Xiang, which was still under Li Xiang's control.
Although these people also wanted to come over, unfortunately, in the brief fight, both of them suffered losses at the hands of Long Yi, and Chief Maiqi did not allow them to make any moves. After all, his youngest son was still in his hands.
"My friend, if you have anything to say, you can just come in through the main door. I, Chief Maiqi, welcome guests from all over the world. There's no need to do this, right?"
Chief Maiqi sat in the main seat, looking at his son sitting obediently not far away, and he felt relieved. These people must have something to discuss, so they would not harm his son. The reason why they were still holding his son hostage was to save his life.
Just now, Maiqi Tusi didn't come in, so Li Xiang had to hold a hostage. Now that Maiqi Tusi has come in, Li Xiang has the opportunity to show off his good stuff, so he doesn't care about this kid.
"Go to your father."
Li Xiang's words surprised everyone present. If this guy wanted to show his goodwill, he would not have let the young master escape from his control. Although you are from the Tang Dynasty and may have various opportunities, you have detained the chieftain's son. According to Chieftain Maiqi's temper, you have still violated his bottom line.
The young master looked back at Li Xiang, then slowly walked towards Chief Maiqi. When he was half the distance away, the old butler quickly rushed over and stopped the young master behind him. The others were about to take action.
"Slow down, don't do anything. To protect all of our lives, I think we should wait a moment. I want to show Macchi Toast something."
Li Xiang knew that these people wanted to rush up. Although the three of them could defeat the ten guards in the house, they could not defeat those outside. They had to let Chief Maiqi know how powerful we were so that they could continue the talks. It was useless to just threaten a hostage.
Chief Maiqi waved his hand and the guards gathered around him, wondering what Li Xiang was going to show them.
They saw Li Xiang take out a white bottle from his clothes. In their opinion, such a thing could be considered a treasure. It could even reflect light under the firelight. But what surprised them was that Li Xiang actually put a white cloth strip in it.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Xiang walked to the brazier, lit the white cloth inside, and threw it directly into the air outside. Then a huge explosion was heard.
This is the simple grenade. There were not many people where Li Xiang threw it, only a few animals. However, those animals can't stand up now, which is enough to show the lethality of this thing.
It was the first time that Chief Maiqi had seen such a thing. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. When did the Han people have such a thing? If such a thing could be used on the battlefield, especially in the hands of his troops, then even if Songtsen Gampo's army came, they would never be their match.
"Can you let them out? I have this thing in my hand, but I don't have any bad intentions. I just need a way to talk to the chieftain, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I apologize for this."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Long Yi opened his robe, which was full of such small bottles. If they were to explode here, no one in the entire Guanzhai would survive. They did have the ability to destroy all of us, but they didn't do so because they had something to discuss.
"The housekeeper stays, and the others leave."
Chieftain Maiqi was also a man of great courage. In addition to the two guards behind him, he only left behind a housekeeper, which was considered to be equal to Li Xiang. However, Li Xiang possessed such a magical weapon. Even if you left more people, you would not be able to be Li Xiang's opponent in the end. Moreover, if you angered Li Xiang, I am afraid that no one would be left in the entire village. The chieftain's most elite people were in this village.
Li Xiang smiled slightly at this time. The first step of the adventure had been completed. At least both parties could sit together and have a good talk.
"Young man, you should tell me who you are and why you are here."
Chief Maiqi sat opposite Li Xiang.
"I am a prince of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know my identity. You and I have a common enemy. Lu Dongzan married my wife and will arrive in Tubo soon. I will do anything to make his life difficult."
Li Xiang briefly explained the reason for his coming. Of course, this reason was made up casually, which made it more believable. After hearing this, Tusi Maiqi still had doubts in his eyes, but he was already beginning to feel happy in his heart. Although their rebellion was so huge this time, Lu Dongzan had a very high reputation on the plateau. If Lu Dongzan came back to turn the tide, they might not be able to hold on. It was said that Lu Dongzan had already arrived in the holy city.
"If that's the case, we are indeed on the same side, but I want to know what kind of help you can provide me."
Maiqi Tusi hit the nail on the head. He didn't want to discuss too many useless things. He just wanted to know what he could get. If you just rely on your mouth, then no matter where you came from or where you are going, he has no intention of wasting time with you.
Li Xiang looked to the side and saw Long Er taking out a box from the corner. This box had been hidden in the dark in Li Xiang's system space. Now Li Xiang took it out from the space and instructed Long Er to bring it over. Everything seemed as if the box had been placed there in advance.
If the young master was in the room, he would definitely raise questions, because when these people entered the room just now, they had nothing in their hands, and now this box was obviously put in later.
Chief Maiqi's steward moved closer to him, trying to use his body to buy a little safety for the master, but Chief Maiqi pushed him away. Since everything had been said so clearly, if there was any danger, could he bring it in?
When Li Xiang opened the box, Chief Maiqi's eyes widened. It was filled with gold. The box was full of gold, at least two thousand taels...
